FAQ
DDP shipping to Canada FAQ
What DDP covers, CARM, DDP vs DAP, the importer of record, and delivery scope.
What does DDP shipping to Canada include?
Freight, customs entry, Canadian Customs Tariff duty, 5% GST, and final-mile delivery — one number, itemised. What is excluded is stated explicitly.
Why does DDP to Canada need CARM?
CARM (CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management) requires importers to register and post their own financial security before cargo is released. A forwarder cannot lend theirs. We confirm your CARM position before booking.
DDP or DAP — which for Canada?
DDP if you want a fixed landed cost with no customs work. DAP if you have a broker and import entity and want to file your own entry. Under DAP, duty and GST remain yours.
What is the importer of record on a DDP shipment to Canada?
It must be established before booking. Depending on the product and structure, it may be you, a designated entity, or — by arrangement — us. The answer determines who carries the compliance exposure, so we put it in writing.
Can you deliver DDP to a Canadian 3PL or Amazon FC?
Yes. The delivery address is priced into the landed cost whether it is a business, warehouse, 3PL, or fulfilment centre.
